Here's like 5 games where the opponent did next to nothing for the first three turns... why are all my games against mono-red / mono-white where the opponent's hand is empty by turn three and I'm at 4 hp?
bec you don't go into ranked with 4 copies of altar of pantheon :)
I too never have this kind off slow play opponent streak. It would have been all aggro with maybe 1 slow play or just better Ugin decks.
Yeah, the deck is pretty bad. In SILVER ranked I have 14 wins / 20 loses, in free play 6 wins/ 9 loses. As you have said the deck is slow, and against any fast aggro deck you must draw perfect (and cross fingers), but against control decks is not any better ........ doesn't have any kind of protections agains counters, Teferi destroys it (turn 3 Teferi bounces your mana artifact), Narset shuts it down ..... Honestly it's a very bad deck.
It is pretty clear that Arena has some kind of algorithm in matchmaking, I may have a deck that is weak against dimir counterspell/mill decks, so I make some changes (since all the games I'm getting are nothing but counterspells decks), and suddenly I'm playing against some simic bs... and if I change decks, totally different matches.
MTG Arena for me is winning 5 or 6 six times in a row (against decks that didn't had a chance to begin with) and then loosing 4 or 5 times in row (against people that were one step ahead everytime). My advice is, if you're tired of playing against RDW, play some lifegain stuff that they are weak against.
@@saularias3250 yeah, BO3 is just more fun tbh. Can kinda reduce the coinflippy nature of, “bad matchup goof matchup”
Love that you made a competitive (ish) deck in mono U without using any countermagic. That’ll probably stop it from getting to mythic but it’s so good to see blue go big without slowing the game down to a grind
what’s wrong with countermagic? it punishes players for playing without thinking first and it adds this poker like bluffing to the game so that you have to think about psychology as well as your play.
@@knodalishell5636 they're boring to play against. Oh, not that card...or that card...or that card...and another.
Often I see the opposite, where the counter speller doesn't think and just counters something that allows me to play my permanent. Then they concede because they can't deal with the board state. So, I've had zero fun playing my deck and when Im about to, they concede. Utter waste of time, though effective against certain playstyles and decks. Which is why I run T3feri so I can imagine them ranting about how unfair the card is while I laugh.
@@knodalishell5636 poker is not a good analogy to counters in mtg, and no it doesn't "force your opponent to think before playing." Principles of game theory stratify games based on the amount of information each player is given (i.e. games of complete or incomplete information that exist on a spectrum). The person playing countermagic gets handed much before having to choose to counter: complete information concerning every card their opponent plays at the time they play it, the amount and colors of mana their opponents are using for their spells (and as a result potentially future spells), the knowledge of whether a counterspell will work in reaction i.e. "Can't be countered" status. Thus, they are free to choose which spells they do or don't counter with very little risk involved. The choice is nearly always allocated to the spell with the most utility for the opponent. For instance, choosing not to counter a 2 mana cost card when they can clearly see the opponent has 3 mana left open to potentially spend. A better analogy would be blackjack, where one already has information concerning the dealers hand and their mandated choices before one decides what to do. The math is not speculative based on "implied odds" of hand ranges and betting sizes the way poker is.
Another principle involved in mtg is the rule of relative value. While not always true depending on deck construction, in practice, a card costing more mana will hold more utility than a card costing less. Thus, the amount of utility counter spells hold for only being in the 2-4 mana cost range increases with the higher mana cost of the card they're countering.
Exceptions to this include instances where both players are running significant amounts of counter and/or instant spells and instances where the leading player is running significant amounts of cheap (i.e. 1 drop) spells. Even then, the amount of information the countering player has far outweighs the amount the leading player has before spells are cast and always will.
Given this information, it isn't difficult to see why countermagic is so polarizing of a topic among the mtg community (or why 3-mana Teferi is arguably the most valuable planeswalker to have in a deck).
Competitive deck? Any ramp control or aggro standard deck can defeat him easily. I think he showed only matches with Ugin in hand and matches with tier 2-3 decks.
17:13 you had lethal by casting the 3rdd Ugin
17:21 only me screaming that he should play Ugin? :p
no was an good play not to even if it struck my mind
God that is a missplay of a total noob. MTG arena original decks is by far a better player and more skilled than this guy
murglan1 Everyone makes dingus plays though. Both Original Deck and Mono Black are silly in their own way.
@@Javikazi and both fun to watch. Love both content.
I have to assume he was joking, because MTGAOD dude is... pretty dingusy all the time.
I've seen so many of your videos that sometimes I wake up and the first thing I say is "Meeeeeemmmmmbber shout out"
When I first started watching I CONSTANTLY had the auto-tuned version in my head. Dark lord bring back the autotune
Dude! One of the best into ever, i had to check my browser to make sure I was watching mono black magic! Wizard totally wizard🧙♂️🍻👊🤜
There are a lot of 3cmc mana producing artifacts that do something in this deck, other than lantern and altar (Locket, Crystal, Mana Geode, Spinning Wheel).
Yes, what does lantern do in this deck anyway?
Adds 1 maynaise
Oh god, im from Brasil.
"Xaolin matador de porco" is a meme from here.
a student used this name in they distance learning account and the teacher was angry because he didn't know who he was.
That name means "Xaoling pig killer"
🤣🤣🤣
Matador is also a spanish way, he wasn't completely wrong. It also means killer, but we use more often for the bullfighter who's going to end the bull's life (I don't agree with bull fighting, it's a barbaric tradition).
Bom saber que não sou o unico br que assiste o mono kkkk esse maluco é hilário
Sopa de macaco. Uma delicia.
Tamo junto!! Hahahaha
Eu ia comentar também, salve brasileirinho hajahajha
Ah yes the Dingus Lord version of War: "War! UwU! What is it good for?"
Absowutewy nuttin! UwU!
17:20 couldve played 2nd ugin and plussed for 3 damage lethal
yeepppp
To quote Mark Rosewater: "For everything there is the correct way and there is the fun way."
Make of that what you will.
but the opponent could be holding an black and/or blue counter so was an good play as an insurance
@@drshinobi3979 What?... Who cares if he counters the new Ugin? Then the old Ugin is still there. This makes no sense...
4:00 could've taken control of both cards?
You know a deck is strong when even after all the dingus missplays, you still win the game.
Those dingus eggs are amazing, love the effort you put into your graphics
I get Chromatic Lantern allows you to use whatever activated abilities your opponent's creatures have that you've taken with Mass Manipulation but I think Mana Geode's scry is going to be more value more often. Palladium Myr is a creature for 3 that taps for two colourless mana, it being a creature means it's vulnerable to creature removal and can't tap on the turn you play it but that's also an idea. Even Spinning Wheel with it's overcosted ability will probably be useful more often.
I made my own tweaks to this deck and this is my version of it:

2 Blast Zone (WAR) 244
Sideboard
1 Keruga, the Macrosage (IKO) 225
Mystic sanctuary literally only works on mass manipulation and it also slows you down a lot, so I took out 2.
Blast zone can help against mono red and cat ovens, and just annoying stuff in general. (with little drawback).
I don't have 4 Barrin's or Solemn Simulacrum, so I put in 4 Ugins instead. Which worked out really well. You get discounts on most cards, can make tokens, draw cards, and kill things. It's really good.
Palladium Myr can attack and is also a 2 mana ramp for 3, which also isn't killed by Ugin.
Spinning wheel and mana geode are strictly better than the artifacts he chose.
It worked out pretty damn well.
2 x Castle Vantress I would say
@@ThommyB Sure, if you want. Seems good.
I don't play with that card. It's too much of a pain to remember to even use it. I literally never remember, so I don't bother.
I made this last night and got myself all the way up to gold 2 from bronze 3. (Haven’t dome ranked in a while). I just replaced 3 sanctuary’s for cancels. It’s very good.
You need a sanctuary to reapply your Mass Manipulation
WOTC needs to reprint The Immortal Sun.
No...just no...
With Fae of wishes, you could put to use all of your multicolored mana by pulling ultimatums from your sideboard.
I can't wait for the inevitable Ugin/Capridor pile
I changed it to this. Thryx and baby Ugin help get to Eugene. Thryx flashing in to stop Anax is blue da ba die da ba die

I feel the Chromatic Lanterns should be some combination of Mana Geodes or Spinning Wheels, both having purpose. The Lantern really doesn't do anything extra where you get some value from those other two. Also, easier on the wildcards for anyone who doesn't have 4x of them (not many by this point, I know.) Otherwise, excellent brew.
People expecting the Dingus Master to not play like a dingus? What a dingus!
You can use the x-blue lockets to have rocks that do something besides heraldic banner. Not that you particularly need the extra draw power, but it adds redundancy for it you draw like 10 lands in a row and fits pretty well with the deck.
Love the potatoes spilling across the screen in between matches!
As much as I love your videos, you’re making arena a mess hahaa
This deck is awesome! Keeping this build around for a bit, they don't know what hit them! 🤘
i love your devotion to your patrons oh dark lord. keep it up!
Cant believe this deck did so well, nice!! and no teferis or spark doubles im amazed.
thanks MONO BLUE MAGIC for your great content!
Woah! =o That dingus intro looks superb :)
Dannggg. That deck may be unorthodox but you wrecked people today!
Love the deck did a minor tweak, dropped 2 Laterns for 2 ugin 6 as they give ugin 8 a 2 discount as well as the other other colourless cards
Good deck Dark Loud, I've played against your last mill deck today, and I might say it's a pain in the butt :p
Oh my Lord, Dingus Intro is so beatiful!!!
Your choices of artifact ramp are not ideal.
You should take out the devotion one and the chromatic lantern and put in something like Mana Geode (for scry) and either a locket (for card draw when not needed), or a spinning wheel so you can tap down big threats if needed. Those artifacts you have don't do anything useful for the same cost and effect).
Also, I personally really like 6 mana Ugin and would want him in that deck.
He discounts all the mana ramp artifacts by 2 (and you have like 12 of them), makes tokens to attack with, gives you more card draw, and he even discounts the other Ugin.
He also isn't killed by 8 mana Ugin's AOE. Nor are the tokens (I think).
Seems like a no-brainer.
What do you take out for lil ugin
22:30 you could have hard cast the brazen borrower at end of turn for lethal attack.
Mono Blugin
This better come up or I'm sad=
Never paid attention to the quality of your intro animation actually
He changed out the Cans on the swap page and put in Dingus heads... speaking of swapping I took out a Barrin and two alters and put in three Fiery Emancipations... cause hitting for 15 with a Brazen Borrower feels good!
Check his other channel out and you would see he can do some things..

0:01-my new nightmare
Nice deck, I’ve enjoyed mucking about with it this evening. Perhaps you could drop the lantern for the Mana geode to benefit from the scry. I don’t have Gadwick so I dropped in a couple of Cavalier of Gales. Mostly worked okay but got destroyed against Agro of any kind.
How can you enjoy playing with a mono blue deck?
Bro you could do a perfect deckard Caine from diablo lmao
Xaolim Matador de porco means Pig slayer shaolin in portuguese. Great name.
Merchant calls the card Revitalize "Sips".
Minor deck critique/question: would it be correct to play other things instead of Lantern and Altar? They have upsides in specific instances where you steal Heliod against Mono white or, in the case of Lantern, you steal something with a non-blue activated ability, but they don't do much in any other case. I would highly suggest playing Midnight Clock, Simic Locket, and/or Zagoth Crystal over those. Midnight Clock has the benefit of triggering Gadwick and being a super late game draw seven while Simic Locket and Zagoth Crystal have two different forms of card draw attached to them while tapping for blue for the deck and Green for activating Scavenging Ooze/Jolrael if it's stolen. Locket is better in the sense it can be cashed in even if you cast it earlier to ramp, but Crystal has the benefit of cycling if you get overloaded with ramp effects, gives you something to do on two mana by cycling it, and it taps for black to activate Knight of the Ebon Legion if you steal one (super niche, but it's more common than Heliod or red activation costs in this meta). My gut tells me something like 4 Zagoth Crystal, 2 Midnight Clock, 2 Simic Locket might be correct.
those would get exiled by his own ugin since they are colored
@@realm087 Midnight tower would, which isn't a big deal if you're already so far ahead you have an Ugin on board. The others don't get exiled. If it bothers so much, just play 4 Zagoth, 4 Locket, since both have upsides that are likely to come up compared to the ones currently in use which only have utility based on things you steal (Gods/Demigods and non-blue activated abilities respectively).
Im here for dope intros and even doper dingus plays🤣🤣🤣
You should run the Midnight Clock in place of the Lantern. THen the Dingus would be complete.
It gets exiled by Ugin.
I would love to see your decks on Aetherhub
Thanks for the great video!! Love your content and cant wait for the next video! Dont know if you saw it or not, but in your 3rd game you could have ended it a round sooner by replaying Ugin from your hand and 3 damage face hehe.
This deck seems surprisingly consistent
Once agin you made an awesome deck! Love your content and cant wait for the next video hehe...dont know if you noticed but your 3rd game you could have ended it a round sooner by playing the new Ugin and plus 2 to deal 3 damage to face hehe,other than that awesome plays!!
Been enjoying your content
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh burn the mono blue!!!! I still have flashbacks to tempo mono blue
This deck is Very Nice 👏👏👏
potato transition is a classic
Great deck... will miss MM when they pull it from standard
love your decks
This guy's getting weird I love it 😂
Me too thanks ( :
You could be extra greedy and go for a blue devotion shell with corridor monitor, nyx lotus and arcanist's owl, the mass manipulations get silly really fast.
(yes, Ugin -X also ravages your devotion, but if you have enough devotion you probably don't need to -X and can work towards the ultimate)
Yessssss dingus intro!!!
I like the dingus head rain
He didnt play aginst top 5 decks,but deck seems good and fun. Monoblue have chanse to win tnx to new Ugin.
Just so you know "xaolim matador de porco" is a brazilian meme, how translate in "pig killer xaolin(a name)"
Only a true DL would hold back on the nastiness, it is not just enough to defeat your enemy but to humiliate them at %50 max power.
All I play against in MTGA is some sort of Blue deck. While they are all different, it was nearly 60 games in a row.
CGB approves.
Fugin' Ugin everywhere.
why are you not running the 3 mana artifact that taps for mana and scrys when it ETBs
Where's Midnight Clock for ramp? It HAS to be better than Altar or Lantern no?
You're a monster... +1
Finale of rev to avoid mill problems against hard control would be nice.
Dingus CANS!
17:23 you had lethal with the Ugin from hand, but I understand that there was no reason to take the risk casting it. It was a better move to keep it for later just in case.
Wooooow big hands smol brains.
Any thoughts on how to fit in some Stonecoil Serpents in this deck? Would they be any good?
I love dingus head
I like the egg rain. If a MTG card was named egg rain, what would it do?
This deck is super fun to play but in unranked it's a MAGNET for red since red doesn't care about manipulation and you're dead before you can ramp to 8. 6/10 of my games played were red.
Since you dont actually need other colors, Mana Geode would be a better choice than Chromatic Lantern since you also get a scry when you play it.
Pig killer xaolin got me crying
11:05 why didn't you bounced your artifact creature and played it again for the landsearch?
There are so many eggs xD I luv it
How do you think this deck does against an aggro mono red?
Is the altar better than midnight clock? it sticks around for longer, but the clock has the clock effect
17.20 You had lethal with an other Ugin in the hand ^^
Who is that Hungarian rapparonce again? I didn't understand
DARK LORD SAN!
Third game against mill opponent is at two life. You have ugin and enough mana to cast him. Should have slammed ugin. Plused an just WON. Ooops, sorry, forgot this a dark dingus stream. You played it PERFECTLY!!!
Next time, bring us matches against tiers 1-2 decks and no mana screw opponents.
Gg ugin
Why no mana geode? Isn't it just better compared to the altars and lanterns
Is this deck good enough to reach diamond?
Wow a blue deck I actually don’t hate? DARK LORD WHAT IS THIS MAGIC
At 17 or so minutes could’ve returned Ugin recast him and 3 damage to finish him off
These intros kill me every damn time
17:26 play ugin and plus 2 is leathal.
Sup bro. Awesome deck. I think there might be a couple of artifact creatures that ramp manas. Might be good?
I’m blue da ba di da ba die!
Yea, that was a pretty good ultimate!! Lol
damn slap a sideboard on this baby and it might be able to see tournament play. removal is tough but maybe you could play more of a flash game and run counters
20:50 Ugin doesn't always mean victory, I had some guy doing a Sultai Ramp Ugin deck and he minus 6 his Ugin to get rid of my board, so the next turn I used Mythos of Illuna to copy his Ugin and then plus two'd it to kill his original. He spent a quite a few turns trying to get rid of it (he eventually did) but the poor sap ended up ramping himself into an empty library and decking himself. Ya hate to see it. (￢‿￢ )
so wouldnt that still be an Ugin victory? seeing as you gained your own Ugin that pushed you to victory lol... so indeed Ugin DOES always mean victory, just not always to the one who gets him first
Lol I did the same thing yesterday copying and killing the enemy's Ugin. He then played Karn and grabbed a sorcerous spyglass and named... Ugin the Ineffable. He conceded out of shame after I bolted his Karn.
'Matador': literally, translates as killer. More often, how you call bullfighters. They do after all kill the bulls. BUT. 'Porco' is not spanish. Sounds italian or portuguese or something very similar, tough.
Portuguese, in fact. It's a brazilian meme. xD
